Episode 32 | All Star Game Finalists, Mark Appel Debuts, & Angels/Mariners Brawl

This week on The Diamond Duo Podcast, Tom and Tony return from a week off by having to begrudgingly accept that a few Blue Jays and Braves players are All Star finalists. They explain their thoughts as to why the All Star voting process has become subject to more ridicule again and also select who they would like to see start in this year's Summer Classic! In other news, Tom and Tony congratulate former top pick Mark Appel for making his big league debut, discuss how one of "Pugliese's Paisans" will help out a struggling team, and recap the now infamous Angels/Mariners brawl that the duo missed out on last week! In addition, Tom gets to go on another prophecy rant about his sweetheart Cardinals after a few of their players made history this past week! Sit back, relax, and enjoy Tom and Tony shake off the rust of not posting last week as they once again tour around the world of baseball on Episode 32 of The Diamond Duo Podcast!
